It is said that after Fang Yan's accident, the Zhang family and the Zhang family were constantly making a fuss about her in the village.
When Fang Yan returned to the village, the two families suddenly became as quiet as two quails. Even after Fang Yan finished dinner, neither of them dared to say a word.
The Zhang family kept their doors tightly shut, and even the chubby boy was confined at home, not allowed to go out and wander around.
Just when Fang Yan thought that tonight would pass peacefully like this, she realized that the night would be over.
Unexpectedly, a heart-wrenching, panicked cry pierced the night sky, "Waaah..."
The cries were not only heart-wrenching, but they also grew louder as they approached.
Along the way, countless people were jolted awake from their sleep.
Who is it?
Who's crying outside?
"Damn it... Who's crying like their father just died in the middle of the night? It's creepy!"
"Holy crap! Who is that?! You scared the crap out of me!"
Fang Yan was also woken up and quickly got up to check on Xiao Yuzai. Fortunately, the child was a deep sleeper and showed no signs of being woken up.
In the blink of an eye, you can see that Qibei, who was sleeping under the bed, has stood up and is looking warily at the door.
Fang Yan listened carefully and realized that the crying sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Could it be that they came for her?
After listening intently for a while, Fang Yan finally recognized the voice: "Isn't that Li Ermei's voice?"
This time, she didn't hesitate any longer. She quickly got up, took Qibei out of the room, and closed the door behind her.
At this moment, Aunt De next door was also awakened and nudged Zhang Zongde, who was also awakened, saying, "Why does this sound seem to be getting closer and closer?"
She had barely finished speaking when she heard a loud knocking on the door. "Third brother's wife! Waaah... Third brother's wife! Open the door! Help!"
"Oh no! Isn't that Zhou Dashu's wife?"
Aunt De also heard the noise and quickly pulled Zhang Zongde out of bed. "We have to go out and see what's going on. Could it be that scoundrel Zhang Laowu is planning some dirty trick on Lao San's family again?"
Fang Yan led Qi Bei out the door. The two of them stood in the yard, looking at the people outside through the locked gate. "What are you doing here again?"
The outermost door is a fence, so even if it's not open, you can still see the people outside.
Li Ermei pushed the child she was holding forward, pleading, "Third brother's wife, please, save my son Congming!"
Zhang Congming is her child with Zhou Dashu.
Fang Yan found it amusing. "I'm neither a doctor nor a fortune teller. What do you want from me?"
"The third son's wife, he suddenly fainted, and we couldn't wake him up no matter what we did. You know, over there, because..."
Li Ermei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not mention that it was because of Zhang Laowu. She vaguely said, "Now everyone in the village avoids us like the plague. Could you please help us borrow a bicycle?"
Although, as she said, the villagers now dislike them.
But Fang Yan still refused, saying, "No."
"Third brother's family, from the past, I feel sorry for you. I'm here to apologize to you. Please forgive me for being so foolish before and help me this time."
Li Ermei held her son, crying as she tried to kneel down before Fang Yan.
She probably thought that since she had gone to such lengths, Fang Yan would definitely come over to open the door, help her up, and prevent her from kneeling down.
As a result, Fang Yan just stared at her coldly, without making a move.
Daozaoqibei, with its front paws half-bent and its body arched even more, seemed to be on guard against Li Ermei suddenly causing trouble.
Li Ermei had only intended to put on a show, but seeing that Fang Yan didn't react, she had no choice but to continue kneeling.
"Zhou Dashu's family, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Aunt De and Zhang Zongde opened the door in time and, seeing Li Ermei's actions, whispered a warning.
Li Ermei, who was kneeling halfway, stood up and turned around to look at Zhang Zongde and Aunt De. She said the same thing again, "Clan leader, Aunt De, Congming has fainted and we can't wake him up no matter what we do. I want to take him to the hospital, but we can't borrow a bicycle from our family. I've come to ask the third brother's family for a favor. Just ask her to borrow a bicycle for me."
"In the middle of the night, the child fainted, and Zhou Dashu didn't even know? How come you're all alone?"
Zhang Zongde frowned, glanced at the child in her arms, and asked.
Li Ermei glanced at Fang Yan and said, "The third brother isn't home. It's just his wife with the child. Dashu said it's not convenient for a grown man like him to come over in the middle of the night."
"Hehe!" Seeing Zhang Zongde and Aunt De come out, Fang Yan was no longer afraid of Li Ermei causing trouble.
As soon as the door opened, Qibei darted to the front, staring intently, as if to say, "If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll bite you to death!"
Fang Yan stood at the door and sneered, "The village chief's family also has bicycles. Have you asked about them?"
Yes, the whole village disliked Zhang Laowu's family, but even those who owned bicycles were willing to lend them to them.
But the village chief is different; he is the head of the village, as long as Zhang Laowu's family has not been expelled from Gouzi Village.
He has to take care of them.
He'd lend money, let alone a bicycle; he'd lend money within his means.
Only two households in the whole village own bicycles: Aunt Wang's family and the village chief's family.
Now, whenever Aunt Wang's family sees Zhang Laowu's family, they turn their backs on them and don't even glance at them.
The village chief's house...
“It’s so late, and there are elderly people at the village chief’s house. I’m afraid I’ll disturb her…” Li Ermei said evasively.
Although Li Ermei cried very genuinely, her anxious behavior showed no signs of faking it.
However, just now, when she was explaining why Zhou Dashu was so late and didn't come out with her, Fang Yan felt that something was wrong.
As soon as Zhang Zongde asked the question, Li Ermei answered immediately, and very fluently and smoothly.
Yes, it's because she answered so fluently and smoothly.
It flowed so smoothly, as if I had recited the answer to myself several times beforehand.
Therefore, what happened tonight was not sudden at all, but rather something that was deliberately arranged by someone.
But what is the purpose?
What is the purpose?
If you doubt your own thinking because you can't understand their motives, then you might be overthinking things.
Now, seeing Li Ermei's evasive words, Fang Yan was almost certain that she hadn't been overthinking things.
What happened tonight was clearly intentional.
Haha, they can even control when a child faints?
That's interesting.
Aunt De was immediately displeased when she heard Li Ermei's words. "The village chief has an elderly person at home, so you don't dare to disturb her. But the third son's family has a three-year-old child at home, and you have the nerve to disturb her?"
